"Rajini thanked Kalaignar (Karunanidhi) and enquired about his health and about DMK Rajya Sabha member Kanimozhi's well-being," according to a release from the DMK headquarters Anna Arivalayam.

The party's press release said that Karunanidhi spoke to the top actor, who returned from Singapore after treatment on Wednesday night, regarding the treatment extended to him. He also expressed happiness on Rajini coming back to Chennai after successfully undergoing treatment.

As soon as he was discharged from the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore last month, Rajinikanth spoke to Tamil Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and Karunanidhi over phone, it may be recalled. Both leaders had earlier wished a 'speedy recovery' for the Superstar.
